Sounds like you got a bad machine. If it's within a month, the normal return time for most retail stores, I would return it back to Target for a refund and then buy another one to start from fresh with. Get them to give you the new online price of $20 for their tiny space saving model trutech T600-D at the store. It should last about 2yrs if you use it daily and longer if not.
